"The hotel was good, staff were excellent. The reason I can't give a five star is because if your staying at a hotel you shouldn't have to pay for a beach chair, plus when we arrived we were told 13 euros for half day and 26 euros for entire day but when we got to the beach they said 30 euros. Moreover, I got to the beach around 1230 pm and I still got charged for a full day."
